Do they -- honest to god -- believe that being trans has to do with sex/pornography?
I can't tell if they write like this just to further their ends, or is their first & only thought when they hear "transgender" really a porn category? wtf

Btw, to use this tool, zoom in or out to see at different scales. Hover over the nodes to see the sentences. There's a search bar to highlight nodes with certain phrases, like in this screenshot. Phone works, but computer is easier.

Honestly not learning much, they're just incredibly hell-bent, twisted in how they see the world /:

Maybe commit 10 minutes to looking around? And if you learn something you didn't expect from it, consider sharing for others to know too. The more everyone is informed about Project 2025, the better.

I make interactive tools like this to help others understand "the shape" of complicated data in ways more meaningful than staring at numbers or bar charts

People tend to envision burly trans women when it comes to the sports talking point. Remember they're trying to ban young kids who transition early, across all sports including chess or darts, and use the bills as a stepping stone for further erasure.

'I'm not doing ketamine'... so, the others then
Like when Don Jr got angry at Business Insider for comparing him to Hunter Biden, said 'I don't use crack' (but he uses coke), even though the article didn't mention drug use

This is two weeks after Moderna opened a new site in UK (which is good, vaccines are needed everywhere)

Always good to remind them that constituents are real and not numbers to be cut from a spreadsheet

Thanks for sharing about this. White people often don't even know about multiracial identity, let alone the difference between race & ethnicity. This erasure also impacts academia (data/social sciences), I'll pass this info along.

FYI, the person in the video lost an eye due to covid, which caused her to have a series of strokes in her early 20s even though she had no health issues before that. She’s @ chanplante on tiktok and has talked a lot about her disability/health journey. She’s been really brave in sharing so much.

Consider getting the vaccine/boosters if haven't yet, while they're still available. It's not 100% perfect, sure, but it's better than nothing, and the goal is to eradicate it collectively
Btw I've found that taking 24-hour antihistamines the day of and after helps reduce shot symptoms

Covid is still happening. ~370 *reported* cases, and 7 deaths in my state alone in the last week
So many people have long covid now, hopefully some good can come from this, like more ME/CFS research...

I was extra upset when I tested positive because I was always masking in public and I had all the boosters! 😞
Much better now, though I still don't feel like I did before. I used to never get sick, but now I get sick every 2-8 weeks depending on the season, feels like brain damage each time

I've been doing my best to talk with everyone I encounter about all of it. Inviting friends to protests, sharing awareness. Sometimes it's frustrating & isolating trying to get people on the same page. It's so negative, but it's so important.

The “deport” is also the part they are not doing.
They are human trafficking people to concentration camps in foreign countries.
We can’t let them normalize this as deportation

A view from 2002: youtu.be/gd7P78w8cdA
I hope greater awareness from talking openly about it in day to day means we're more likely to make it through

And if it turns out to be a Caesarean section, the FBI will arrest the doctor for obstruction, right?

To be clear, the second* personal statement, which is about diversity, was removed

Well over 200 marched, not including the other #50501Movement protests going on in Boston
Here's a pic from the end of day, where we conclude:
Yes, it's been a firestorm, & continues to be, but we stay positive, we stay resilient, because we have to — we will make it through
